They That Are Amongst Us

How do you begin a story about a fallen angel, who did not necessarily mean to defy God; but was cast from Heaven and banished here on earth? Well, that’s what we are looking at here, and I am that fallen angel. I’m not a demon, I hate that I have to explain that and part of me thinks maybe I should’ve prefaced with that. But here’s the thing, there is a stigma about fallen angels, that we are all evil and that we report to Satan. Well, I don’t rock with that guy, in fact, I am literally avoiding his very existence.

I can see you’re wondering what exactly it was that I did to get kicked out of heaven, was it bad? Was it maybe something downright horrible? But yet; I propose to you to consider, that perhaps it was just a misunderstanding! I had an incredible job there in the Holy Centers, my task? I handled God’s coffee order; and let me say this; he has a very complicated one. I mean really, who drinks a white-hot chocolate mocha with 3 pumps of raspberry, mind you, raspberries handpicked from a farm in Scotland…extra hot? Well God does, and he is quite adamant about the way he has his coffee. You would think I would make it right having had to make it every single day for as long as I have existed, but; somehow I mess it up, every, single time. It was my understanding that God did not take too kindly of my suggestion of using soy-milk. And that I wasn’t nor, was my attitude a good fit for my current position. I was called into the office.

Now, what I think set him over the edge was not my attitude per say, but simply my rebuttal. I said couldn’t you maybe relocate me to a different department? To be completely exiled for messing up a coffee order seemed a bit extreme, my opinion.

But best believe if I ever get the chance to make God’s coffee ever again, I will make the best white hot chocolate mocha with 3 pumps of raspberry from raspberries handpicked from a farm in Scotland extra hot! And I will do I with gladness!

So, until that gets worked out, I’m here, living amongst the HUmiiins. Oh, and guess where I work, Starbucks.
